Voyager announces partnership with iProfile

Voyager announces that they’ve continued their integration to 3rd party applications with the addition of iProfile.

Voyager's Sales Director, Paul Thompson commented “Voyager's commitment to investment in the best of technology stretches to integrating to the best of 3rd party plug-ins. iProfile is an established solution and well regarded among the recruitment community. It is a great compliment to the existing Voyager Recruitment database solution. Voyager recognises that Recruiters need a range of solutions, and by working together Voyager and iProfile offer a slick solution – it’s a great day for our joint customers”.

The staff at Voyager are always full of surprises but this one we can’t keep a secret for much longer – 2 of the team are going to ‘The BRITS’ and will be on the TV!

Voyager’s very own Gareth Jeune (Data Conversion & Report Team) and Andrea Day (Product Manager) have been playing a tune for many years and they’ve been recognised by the organisers of The BRITS as having exceptional talent – not that we didn’t know that anyway!

With our new offices come new training facilities, new qualifications for our trainers and improvements to the services we can offer customers.

Being huge believers that education is the path to enlightenment (well, being better able to do your job anyway), the training team themselves have been back to school to brush up on their training skills. After completing a gruelling course, with plenty of exams, our customers will be pleased to note that all those that attended the course attained the highest possible pass mark, and can now call themselves qualified trainers.

To our knowledge, we are the only company within the sector that takes internal training as seriously and makes sure that our trainers are qualified, as well as being the product and recruitment specialists you would expect. Why would you trust a training team that didn’t keep their own knowledge up to date?

The feedback from the recent clinic questionnaire provided some useful and encouraging results.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond, this sort of feedback is central to keeping the clinics relevant to your needs.We were encouraged by the feedback, that we weren’t too far off the mark with how you saw a successful clinic being run. In fact 83% of respondents were happy for us to continue as we always had!
